INDIANAPOLIS—Hurco distributor Beckman Precision will showcase the
Hurco
VM10U 5-axis machining center at the Beckman Precision Manufacturing
Technology Event February 29 and March 1 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at their Greer,
S.C. facility. Attendees will see firsthand how 5-sided machining can increase the
profitability of their shop. With the Hurco control’s intuitive 5-sided
conversational programming that doesn’t require a CAM system, the
5-axis VM10U can easily save up to four hours per part and reduce the
number of operations by 70% compared to using a 3-axis VMC. Additionally,
5-sided machining retains accuracy because it eliminates the need flip the part
and refixture it multiple times.

Beckman Precision will also display
other technology they represent in the Southeast, such as wire EDM, cylindrical
grinding, and turning centers. No registration is required for the Beckman
Precision Manufacturing Technology Event and complimentary food and beverages
will be provided.
